I came across a fun activity in my Facebook feed – an online course that teaches couples massage . My wife and I were discussing recently what we can do to keep ourselves busy during the next wave of covid. More importantly, perhaps, a therapist friend was telling me recently that she is seeing a […]

Treat Yourself to New Lingerie
A common ‘ailment‘ these days is a general malaise. People feel uninspired. They are not doing new things or putting their usual amount of energy forward. At the beginning of the pandemic, as we were forced to stay home, people were planting gardens, taking up new hobbies, installing home gyms. As it wears down, our […]
Who Is In Your Phase 2 Bubble
As we start to see covid cases increasing again in Canada and parts of the US that had seemed to have it under control, we’re starting to prep for phase 2. Over the past few days we’ve been getting numerous requests from friends to ‘bubble’ with them in phase 2. Absent clear direction from governments […]
Boys Weekends
Weekends with the guys is not something I’ve done a lot of. It feels like a little too much testosterone and too forced. Like everyone is trying too hard to recapture the relationship they’ll had when they were younger. So, everyone drinks too much to cover for the fact that they don’t really know what […]
Because you Can’t Not Talk About the Presidential Debate This Morning
What a spectacle. No one can feel proud after that. Trump, Biden. The American people. As one commentator put it “This is an unutterable disgrace. The American humiliation continues”. No need to replay the low points.There were many. The president telling white supremacists to ‘stand by’ . Biden telling the president to shut up. The […]
Sexy Yoga Classes
My wife has just completed her certification to become a yoga instructor. It had been her main ‘covid project’. She had wanted to do this for ages, so when she found herself with extra time during the covid lockdown she started the training. Its actually pretty gruelling. 6 hours of online training a week plus […]
I got 3, but I wanted a hundred
Live life to the fullest. Has someone ever said something that perfectly represents you. We were out Friday evening for a friend’s birthday. It was a night of many laughs, lots (a lots) of cocktails, wine and Prosecco and much love. A perfect evening. Part way through the dinner, our friend disappeared inside the restaurant, […]
Are you a morning or evening sex person
I used to dislike morning sex. Well, to be fair, I loved it in the moment, but I felt it left me feeling a little under energized for the rest of the day. I kind of liked to allow my desire to build throughout the day and then enjoy the release that came with sex […]
High School Memories
With old friends last night, the name of someone we knew in high school came up. She was an attractive woman and very accomplished. She was not in my classes and I had no memory of her. My friends were a little shocked and even suggesting its a mild autism. Simply because I couldn’t remember […]
Why Do Guys Send Dick Pics
Lets ask science. I was reading an old post on the Psychology Today website and I came across a study done in 2016 that actually looked into why men send women pictures of their junk. Its always been, for me like it is for others, one of life’s great mysteries. Virtually every woman you meet […]
Sex Workers and Sexuality
My wife and I began watching P-Valley last night – a realistic portrayal of worked at a strip club in Mississippi. The show has earned a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes mainly because of its accurate portrayal of working in the sex industry. Its not all sadness and abuse; and neither is it all glitz […]
Sam Cooke Knew How to Live….. But did he know he knew how to live
I read this line in a book recently. And I loved it. That idea that we can we can be in the midst of having a great life, but not really be aware of how great that life is. I think of my teenage kids. They’ve been lucky enough to be born into a family […]
Its hard to be a kid
My daughter just went back to school. Already, she’s feeling this incredible stress in balancing homework (there is a lot), her job (which she likes a lot and needs to pay for her phone), being a competitive athlete (which she loves!! and helps her stay fit). And she realized last night that she doesn’t have […]
Are we too focussed on sex?
A friend recently said to me “you speak about sex more than anyone I know”. I’m sure he was right, but I am not sure his underlying point – that I talk about sex too much – was, in fact correct. I said back to him… ‘what percent of the time do you think we […]
The Appeal of Rough Sex?
I was looking through an online dating/hookup site this weekend and a something jumped out at me – how often people specifically mention an interest in rough sex. Or similarly, how frequently they specifically mention that they to do not like it. Rough sex was the sexual activity most frequently mentioned – both the liking […]
The Invisible Sexual Revolution
Is there a trend developing – 30-something women leaving their families to pursue female-female relationships. For the second time in the past month, friends have told me about a daughter of theirs (in their early 30s) leaving their husband and kids to pursue their bisexuality. In both cases the situation was near identical. Happy, stable […]
